These additional data can be used for model training?

The data provided here seem images of California (because the file names are california_#.hdf5).
But, in the Participation rules in the Overview, it is written as follows:
| Additional data must not contain any information related to California (due to possible overfitting)
So, I wonder whether these data can be used for model training or not.
Could the organizers make clear about this?
This data can be used for training since we are sure there are no intersections with the burned areas. Each sample contains a couple of images with all-zeros masks (so there are no burned areas). External data can be used, but we must be sure there is no intersection with the validation and test sets.
thank you!
